Scarlet looks all ready for its impending IMAX theatrical debut on February 6, 2026. And thus, all ready to be added to Mamoru Hosoda‘s list of masterpieces, which already counts the likes of The Boy and the Beast, Mirai, and Belle among his list of works. In fact, this one might be his best anime film yet, since it received three nominations for the 2026 Annie Awards, including Best Feature (Independent), Best Direction (Feature), and Best Writing (Feature) after making its initial debut at the Venice International Film Festival. And all before it made its NA debut at the Toronto International Film Festival and New York Film Festival to boot. Since that debut is less than a month away, you all won’t have long to wait for to see it in IMAX. Fortunately, IMAX theaters have this little surprise waiting for us today.
IMAX is proud to announce that tickets for Mamoru Hosoda’s latest anime film masterpiece Scarlet are now on sale. You can in fact purchase those tickets right now directly from IMAX. To celebrate that, IMAX also has a brand new key art to show off, which you can check out below:
